Successful control of erosion requires effective monitoring and an in-depth understanding of
erosion processes over large areas. Data from repeated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) …

Automated construction progress monitoring using as-planned building information
modeling (BIM) and as-built point cloud data integration has substantial potential and could …

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-derived point cloud has become the standard spatial
data for digital terrain model (DTM) construction; however, it suffers from huge data with …

Western China is the world's major coal-producing area, accounting for 1/3 of global coal
production. Large-scale underground coal mining has led to serious ground deformation …

Abstract Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) has great potential in creating high resolution
digital elevation models (DEMs). However, little is known about the properties of TLS …

In this study, an approach using ground control point-free unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-
based photogrammetry is proposed to estimate the volume of stockpiles carried on barges in …

In the near future, permanent human settlements on the Moon will become increasingly
realistic. It is very likely that the Moon will serve as a transit point for deep space exploration …

Since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA), formerly glaciated areas have undergone
considerable changes in their morphodynamics due to external forces and system-internal …

Digital elevation models (DEM) used in digital soil mapping (DSM) are commonly selected
based on measures and indicators (quality criteria) that are thought to reflect how well a …

From some empirical and theoretical research on the digital elevation model (DEM)
accuracy obtained for different source data densities, it can be observed that when the same …
